Hello, I’m Androulla Kaminara.
I’ve spent much of my career serving in European institutions, culminating in my role as the EU Ambassador to Pakistan.
From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a marine geophysicist and filling my passport with visa stamps. That curiosity led me to travel to more than 120 countries — even if it meant renewing my passport constantly!
I studied geology and physics, completed a master’s in management science at Imperial College London, and earned a degree in international politics from ULB.
These experiences shaped who I am today and strengthened my commitment to serve Cyprus with knowledge, integrity, and a global perspective.

Εγώ από την ανακοίνωση υπογραμμίζω ότι στην Κύπρο:

Το μερίδιο πλούτου του πλουσιότερου 1% στον συνολικό εθνικό πλούτο, αυξήθηκε σημαντικά από περίπου 12,8% το 2000 σε πάνω από 33% το 2023. Αυτό συνιστά ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα ποσοστιαία άλματα στην Ευρώπη και στον κόσμο.

Δηλαδή

Επανειλημμένως επισήμανα ότι ανασχηματισμός μέρες πριν την Προεδρία είναι 👎 γιατί δεν άφησε χρόνο προετοιμασίας.
Π.χ. παράδειγμα «εφιαλτικών διαπραγματεύσεων» που θα κληθεί η Κύπρος να φέρει σε πέρας σύμφωνα με το #Politico με Γερμανία-Γαλλία να διαφωνούν
